? Aliens have taken over a minibus station. <\/strong>Egyptian writer and translator Mohamed El Fouly starts his debut novel, The Grand Night \u2014 published by Diwan and released at the 2025 Cairo International Book Fair \u2014 with an absurd, chaotic scene: a flying saucer suddenly lands in a bustling minibus station, throwing the neighborhood into a frenzied panic and altering the fate of the informal settlement.<\/p>\n

El Fouly builds on a bold premise: <\/strong>What if first contact with extraterrestrials didn\u2019t happen in the West, as most sci-fi stories imagine, but instead in a chaotic, densely populated informal settlement on the outskirts of a fictional city that closely resembles Cairo? And what if, instead of a global diplomatic response, the area was completely cut off from the world, forcing its inhabitants to deal with the situation alone?<\/p>\n

The plot kicks off when the UFO lands in a place known as Ard El Mawqef<\/strong>, surrounding the area in a blue dome that isolates it from the rest of the city \u2014 no one can enter, leave, or communicate beyond the barrier. As panic spreads, the neighborhood kingpin, Al Ma\u2019allem Khashaba Al Hattab, rallies his crew and devises a strategy to confront this unexpected invasion.<\/p>\n

This sets the stage for a cast of eccentric characters: <\/strong>Alaa Box, Khashaba\u2019s right hand man; his wife, Samah, who looks like a local version of Egyptian pop star Ruby (at least by local beauty standards); Hag Taher, known as the most corrupt man alive; Mr. Nasser El Tohami, the English teacher nicknamed \u201cThe Shakespeare of the Arabs\u201d; and Mahmoud Kotla, a man whose muscles and fat blend into a strange physique. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that aliens aren\u2019t the biggest threat looming over the area\u2014 ancient magic and long-buried secrets hold even darker dangers.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the approach and language that makes the book worth reading.<\/strong> El Fouly writes casually in a mix of colloquial and formal Arabic, offering a multilayered narrative that hooks readers from the very first page. But the book is a cocktail of surrealism, realism filled with a lot of twists, dark humor, and unexpected revelations that constantly shift the course of events.<\/p>\n

WHERE TO FIND IT- <\/strong>You can find the book at Diwan<\/a>, Al Shorouk<\/a>, Bibliothek<\/a>, and Al Masriah<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
